David, the proprietor and chief mechanic of the shop, is one of the most honest mechanics I have ever met. The overflow of clientele attests to his philosophy as a businessman. His associates are also earnest and hard working. Very professional!

This place really saved my life. And worked with me . I really drove miles just to have my car fixed here and I have no problems after they fixed my car. Even two years later he is still my mechanic and has helped me out yet again with no issues

I was referred by my sister in law who has been using his services for 10 years plus. He is an honest mechanic and reasonably priced. My car is running great. I appreciate the great service!😀

I’ve been coming to this place since 2009, I have never had a problem but on Tuesday 5/2023 I took my car to David for a routine check since I noticed my car was shaking a bit when driving it. He had told me everything was ok but my intuition said otherwise. I went to another mechanic today and it was a different story. Mi car had bad breaks and a broken rim!!! I could have been in a serious accident. This very upsetting since I thought David care about his clients and I was a loyal one but after this no more.

The poor persons mechanic. Honest. But enthusiasts and those who keep car long time, take note. If a mechanic is doing a labor intensive job, they should recommend other services that will save you money, while they have that area already opened up. DA auto does not do this and this is why I stopped going here. Here’s why I stopped going He changed a leaking valve cover on a 160 k mile Acura. He should have also recommended a valve adjustment but while doing the labor to get there but didn’t. I was overdue for an adjustment but didn’t know at the time. Now the car is noisy and I have to change the valve cover gaskets again just to do the job (right) I did a timing belt service there after leaking water pump left me stranded. The Hondas have a very-hard-to get to oil pump behind the timing belt that leaks on every single Honda after 150k miles. I had a very leaky oil pump behind the timing belt area. Mine was leaking a lot. Why didn’t he recommend the oil leak pump service then ? Now I have to wait another 70k miles till I’m due for a timing belt service. These are things I wish I knew about my car previously but know now. But I’m not going to pay a timing belt service just to get there now. If you don’t have funds and only want the bare minimum for your car then this place is for you. They won’t lie which is a huge plus. But for me, I need a place that helps me take care of my car well. I love my old Acuras and they run like new if you take care of them. And for that reason I can’t recommend the car lovers to come here.

My family and I have been going to DA Auto Center for quite a few years. David is THE MOST honest mechanic that I've ever had! We used to live down the street from DA Auto Center, but moved about two years ago, We STILL travel the 30 to 45 minutes to go there for oil changes and other services. I even have my Mom come all the way from Inglewood to have her car serviced there. One time, my ex-wife took her car there and asked David to give it a tune-up. After checking her car our, David called her and said that it didn't NEED a tune-up. He just made some minor adjustments, and her car was running like new. He could have EASILY just tuned it up anyway (or not) and charged her anyway. If you're looking for a good, honest mechanic, I highly recommend DA Auto Center! Also, there's not many places where you can get a full synthetic oil change AND a new oil filter for $50.00! I'm just saying!

David is the best out there! Not only does he do great work , but he does it in a timely manner, and he is an honest man who has the best price in town! I would refer DA AUTO CENTER over and over to anyone who need and automotive maintenance or repair work done! I have been a customer through multiple vehicles of my own and he has always kept me going when I needed it!

Mr. Bowen is a kind man. He always gives me the best advice and never convince me to repair my car. He gives me the good price when the car repaired.

Although Mr. Sun (David), is retired now, his Nephew Bowan continues with his uncle’s legacy of premier service at an affordable price. My wife and I have been coming here for over 2 decades and have passed his shop on to our children , the rest of our family and friends that come from as far as the South Bay! We appreciate this honest place of business truly! Keep up the good work!

Boy do I miss David, I should have known that something was wrong when I came in on a Saturday and it wasn't crowded like usual. I've been a customer for 17 years! The new "family friend" doesn't communicate, I had to call 4 different times on 3 different days to find out what was wrong with my vehicle. Also, David will let you bring your parts and charge for the labor. This new guy wouldn't allow it. I Could have bought the parts the same day and wouldn't have to wait for a company to deliver the parts days later. It took 4 days to get my car fixed, the communication was terrible, and he didn't even tell me how much it was until the job was done because he stated that I had extra problems than initially discovered. My car was stuck so I didn't have any choice but to deal with this dude! And on top of that they must have left my windows down at night because I noticed rat booboo all on my floor when I got home! DAVID, either you unretire, or get someone who truly cares to run your shop the way you did. I would normally recommend people to your shop, but there is no way that I would do it now. When the new guy changed my oil he didn't even ask me if I wanted full synthetic oil, so he assumed that I wanted the regular gray and put that in my car. Car I don't even use regular gray. It's really getting ridiculous up there ..You worked too many hard years to let your shop go out like that!
